Ingredients

  • 10.5 ounce French onion soup undiluted
  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ounce French Onion Soup Mix that's one package
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs
  • 3-4 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Pour the French Onion soup (undiluted) into the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Lay the chicken on top of the soup.
  • Slather the chicken with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with dry French onion soup mix, add the bread crumbs on top and finish with a slice of cheese on top of each piece of chicken.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 160°F. Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes until it reaches 165°F.

Notes

Storage - Let the chicken cool completely, then store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dish also freezes well—place in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, making sure to include plenty of sauce to keep the chicken from drying out.
When ready to reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in a 350°F oven, covered, for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
